My dear readers, as a 74-year-old mom and grandma whose world revolves around her grandchildren, I find myself drawn to brands that stand for something more than just making a profit.
That's why I'm so passionate about TOMS, a company that has made a name for itself not only for its stylish and comfortable shoes but also for its commitment to giving back.
For every pair of TOMS shoes purchased, the company donates a pair to a child in need. To date, they have given away over 100 million pairs of shoes to children in more than 70 countries.
As a weekly visitor to the hospital with my therapy dog, where I bring joy to sick children, I know firsthand the impact that a simple act of kindness can have on a young life. TOMS' One for One® program truly embodies the spirit of giving and has made a tangible difference in the lives of countless children worldwide.
But TOMS isn't just about shoes. They also run a variety of other programs focused on improving the lives of children, including:
As an avid reader, I'm particularly drawn to TOMS' commitment to literacy. Through their TOMS Book Club, they have donated over 1 million books to children in need. Reading is such a powerful tool for education and empowerment, and I'm thrilled that TOMS is making it more accessible to children everywhere.
I believe that when we support businesses that give back, we are not only making a fashion statement but also contributing to a better world. TOMS is a company that truly believes in making a difference, and I'm proud to be a part of their mission to create a more compassionate and equitable society.
So, next time you need a new pair of shoes, consider TOMS. Not only will you be getting a stylish and comfortable pair of kicks, but you'll also be making a positive impact on the life of a child in need.
Live with everlasting enthusiasm, my friends!
